Trump speaks from his heart, and knows he has a damn hard boat to row, with his own deep state well and truly against him: “Now, I don’t know that we’re [USA and Russia] going to make a deal. I don’t know. We might,” the President noted. “I want to do the right thing for the American people. And to be honest, secondarily, I want to do the right thing for the world.” and plenty more quotes here: https://www.rt.com/news/377660-trump-russia-getting-along/ Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. "Job 1: stay alive." Fact 1: Knowing that every one of your cabinet member picks who is not already compromised to the existing motu regime, is on the motu scalping list and shall be relentlessly targetted, just as you are, in order to attack you. Trump, I wish you luck, and may the force of kicking arse be with you!
